"We Should All Be Feminists"

Here's where Malaika, Deepika and Sushmita stand with regard to feminism.

In October 2017, the hashtag #MeToo became viral on social media after actress Alyssa Milano tweeted out girls to insert the hashtag "#MeToo" and share their personal encounters with sexual harassment. This was done in order to gauge the widespread global problems of sexual misconduct.

In 24 hours, over half a million people used the hashtag on Twitter and many more on Facebook and Instagram.

Closer home, Bollywood celebrities also do not shy away from the topic of sexual harassment. Recently, Malaika Arora spoke about, the daily problems that women face, in an interview with News18.

She said “There are loads of issues but for me the one thing that makes me cringe, that makes me sad, that makes me want to stand up and do something about it is sexual harassment Sexual harassment needs to be addressed. There needs to be some sort of law that is put in place and it is the need of the hour”.

Talking about Bollywood specifically, she added that “There’s still a lot of disparity in the industry and it continues to be a male-dominated industry. There’s still so much of pay inequality but we’re here at fit to fight and I’m sure that it’ll not go unnoticed or wasted. This fight will pay and our women will come out triumphant”.
